A scientific team is studying the thinkingability of eleven and half month old children.The test is a simple one.Thebaby watches a sort of show on a small stage.In Act One of the show,a yellowcube is lifted from a blue box,and moved across the stage.Then it is returnedto the box.This is repeated 6 times.Act Two is similar except that theyellow cube is smaller.Baby boys do not react at all to the difference andthe size of the cube.But girls immediately become excited.The scientistsinterpret the girls’ excitement as meaning they are trying to understand whatthey have just seen.They are wondering why Act Two is odd and how it differsfrom Act One.In other words,the little girls are reasoning.Thisexperiment certainly does not definitely prove that girls start to reasonbefore boys,but it provides a clue that scientists would like to study morecarefully.Already it is known that bones,muscles and nerves developfaster in baby girls.Perhaps it is early nerve development that makes someinfant girls show more intelligence than infant boys.Scientists have alsofound that nature seems to give another boost to girls.Baby girls usually talkat an earlier age than boys do.Scientists think that there is a physicalreason for this.They believe that the nerve endings in the left side of thebrain develop faster in girls than in boys,and it is this side of the brainthat strongly influences an individual’s ability to use language and rememberthings.

一个科学队正在研究十一个月半大的宝宝的思考能力,这个测试很简单.让宝宝看一个小舞台上的表演,第一幕：一个黄色的立方体从蓝色盒子里拿起,穿过舞台,再放回盒子.重复六次.第二幕与第一幕相似,只是黄色立方体更小些.男宝宝对黄色立方体的大小没有反应.但女宝宝立即兴奋起来.科学家们解释说,女宝宝兴奋是因为她们在试图理解刚看过的表演.她们想知道第二幕为什么看起来奇怪——跟第一幕不同在哪里.换句话说,女宝宝在推理.当然,这个实验并不能肯定女宝宝会推理比男宝宝早,但它为科学家们更仔细地研究提供了一个线索.我们已经知道,女宝宝的骨骼、肌肉和神经的发育比男宝宝早.也许是早期神经发育使女宝宝比男宝宝表现的更聪明.科学家们还发现自然似乎还给女宝宝一些帮助.女孩比男孩说话早,科学家相信这是身体原因,女孩大脑左侧的神经末梢发育的较快.正是大脑中这侧神经对个人语言能力和记忆能力起主要影响.
